When it comes to the discussion of property rights, the rule of law, and how they are important when it comes to the eradication of extreme poverty across the globe, many different examples can be used to demonstrate this effect. Within the movie “Poverty Inc.” the example of the farming villages was used to demonstrate this effect that a system of lacking definition of land ownership has upon the poverty levels of the given region. In this example, many of the people within the village traded some of their earned or collected resources for permission from the local leader to use the land for farm work or other, typically also agricultural, ventures. The issue with this method of conducting business is that there is no legal proof of ownership for the plot of land that they had “purchased” for their use. When this is the case many of these farmers or laborers end up completely losing their land or workspaces simply because they were purchased and legally documented by someone able to afford the legal fees and documentation necessary to legally acquire the section of land. Without proper legal documentation and effective establishment of ownership of land and property within a primarily poor region, the people living in great poverty are unable to secure resources and properties necessary to provide ample opportunities for financial growth or improvement because of the laws and regulations set into place by the region’s government. Without the ability to grow financially, individuals and even the entirety of the region are perpetually stuck in an endless loop of poverty. The people of the region are unable to escape their very unfortunate economic situation without proper resources or ability for property purchasing in order to develop the area into a stronger one.
